Abstract: On April 29, 2003, Employee #1 and a coworker were felling an area of trees and using a skidder for removal. Employee #1 had felled some trees and was watching his coworker skid the trees uphill to the "skidder road" (a common location). Employee #1 was standing uphill from the skidder road as his coworker winched the trees for moving. For some reason, the butt end of one of the trees swung around, crossed over the skidder road, and struck Employee #2 on his right side. Employee #1 was hospitalized and pronounced dead due to a severe head injury.
